05/08/2020

Today it is International Thalassaemia Day 2020. The International Thalassaemia Day, celebrated annually on the 8th of May is a commemoration day in honour of all patients with thalassaemia and their parents who have never lost hope for life, despite the burden of their disease, and to all scientists who, with tireless dedication and enduring efforts, are striving to ensure an improved quality of life to people with thalassaemia across the world.

The theme for ITD2020 is the dawning of a new era for thalassaemia: time for a global effort to make novel therapies accessible and affordable to patients.
